Reply to comment by Nolubrication in West Baltimore gang takedown: 33 indicted on drug, gun and attempted murder charges, police say by Dr_Midnight

People would think heroin you can get from a pharmacy is “safe” as compared to shit you get in the street because, comparatively, it would be. And addicts typically don’t start using with the belief they’ll get addicted. Don’t you remember the “i never said I wanted to a junkie when I grow up” PSAs back in the 80s/90’s. Even as regulated as Oxy is, people still end up hooked. Legalizing drugs would make that problem worse and unless it was unlimited supply, you’d still have a black market issue

Reply to Cost friendly vet recommendations? by Good-Carpet4251

I've always had positive expriences at Harbor View Veterinary Hospital! It's in Canton and I have never felt upsold. I recently took my cat to Eastern for an urgent care situation and despite nothing serious being wrong in the end, spent $1400 💀 I was willing to do it to ensure he was okay, but I also decided to get pet insurance because that sum flattened me. Oof.

Reply to Blight seems to be reducing around Center Street light rail station? by Cheomesh

Yea it seems that a lot of development was always around the corner for that section Howard, but I think the redevelopment of Lexington Market and the new Arena are prob some kinda “signal” that it’s Go Time lol. And tbqh it’s a very good thing since it’s all oriented around our existing transit of the light rail

Without any sort of public announcement, Irsay hired movers to pack up the team's offices in Owings Mills, Maryland, in the middle of the night, while the city of Baltimore slept. by DfcukinLite

You’re right. I know nothing about sports and forgot about The Washington Football Team. I never would have figured that Baltimore would have so many transplants from Allegheny County.

Ah so it definitely was a station at one point then - my wife and I used to joke that we should drop out of life, rehab that building as a game shop and call it Greyhound Games. Glad to see something's actually happening to it though!

Speaking of the dog park it seems like they're excising the ground directly in front of it, too. Wonder what that's about.

Reply to comment by Latirostris in Maryland Zoo mourns unexpected death of giraffe, Willow by Expendable_Red_Shirt

When we were kids, my brother spent summers at a friend's farm. He bought a calf (Gracie) and raised it to be slaughtered and sold. My dad wrote an article for the Sun about this circle of life, and for WEEKS afterwards, people would call us (old days, phone book, home phone) and shout "MURDERERS!!!!" Not too nice for a bunch of kids, who hadn't thought of it like that. And yes, we did eat Grace!

DC is much closer than Philly. I think the Pittsburgh fans are people mostly people from west PA.

The SPCA has a neighborhood vet clinic. They were closed during the pandemic, but look to be open now. They give you the cost of everything up front. They also have clinics for shots and spay/neuter. One year, they did a holiday special for spay/neuter/shots/nails. Merry Christmas, puppy!!!

Reply to comment by jturner5858 in ECLECTIC RESTAURANT in BASEMENT of corner rowhouse perhaps a few miles from Second Chance? I went perhaps 5 yrs ago. I'd like to go back & can't figure out what it's called or where it is. I tried Yelp and can't find it. (I hope it's still there! If not, I'd appreciate other suggestions.) by rgbarometer

No restaurant there anymore. And it's not a boutique hotel anymore, either. It seems like a flop-house/airbnb if their clientele is anything to go by.

Source: my parking lot backs up to that building.

Reply to comment by Alexexy in Hot pot recommendations in the Baltimore area? by starrbub

Second this - broth is flavorful, buffet for vegetables and seafood, and meats and noodles are ordered on tablet. Of all the hot pot places in Baltimore and Ellicott city/catonsville this one is the best - close second would be Hot Pot Hero - only con with them (and it's not a huge con) is everything is ordered on tablet vs buffet option
